A cinematic speed-motion shot of the uploaded reference character captured mid-slide on a rain-slicked, neon-drenched cyberpunk street. The focus is equally on the reflection and the character, forming a dual-layer composition. Likeness Preservation (CRITICAL): Maintain exact proportions, eye shape, spacing, stylization, silhouette, and material identity from the reference. Do not humanize. Do not reinterpret anatomy. Do not modify facial structure. Identity must remain perfectly intact and instantly recognizable. 2D to 3D Translation (ONLY if input is 2D artwork): If the uploaded reference is 2D (illustration, anime, flat graphic, cel-shaded), convert it into a fully realized 3D cinematic form while preserving exact identity fidelity. Maintain exact head shape, eye design, spacing, and proportions. Preserve original stylization, do NOT add realism that alters design language. Translate linework into subtle surface geometry or shading transitions. Keep original colors, expressed through physically believable materials. Convert flat shading into controlled cinematic light falloff. The result must feel physically real, not redesigned. Camera & Perspective: Ultra-low angle, camera positioned just centimeters above the wet pavement. Lens: 18–20mm ultra-wide. Slight Dutch tilt (5–10 degrees) to destabilize the frame. Front three-quarter perspective. One limb or body part must be closer to the lens, creating perspective pressure. Composition (Reflection Dominance): The character slices diagonally across the upper half of the frame. The lower half is dominated by a sharp but slightly distorted reflection. Vertical neon signs in the background must mirror into the wet ground, forming strong graphic lines. The composition must feel off-balance and tension-driven, not centered or stable. Pose Enforcement (CRITICAL — OVERRIDE ALL DEFAULT STANCES): The character must NOT be upright, balanced, or casually sliding. The pose must represent loss of balance under high speed. The torso is pitched aggressively forward, close to the ground. One limb forcefully contacts the wet surface, creating splash and friction. The opposite limb extends outward or backward, fully stretched for counterbalance. Legs are asymmetrical: one trailing, one collapsing or stepping incorrectly. Spine forms a diagonal or curved line, never vertical. Head leads the motion slightly ahead of the torso. Weight Distribution: Weight is NOT centered. It collapses toward the contacting limb and forward motion. Ground Interaction (MANDATORY): Water splashes outward from impact points. Friction streaks beneath sliding limb. Surface tension visibly disturbed. Energy Read: The pose must feel like mid-fall recovery, evasive maneuver at high speed, barely controlled momentum. NOT clean skating, surfing, balanced glide, or upright slide. Perspective Amplification: At least one limb must appear larger due to proximity to the lens, enhancing speed and aggression. Motion & Blur: Directional motion blur trailing from the lowest moving limbs. Sharp focal plane on the face or upper torso. Background and trailing limbs fall into controlled blur. Lighting & Color (Cyberpunk Neon): Hard directional neon lighting from off-screen vertical sources. Color palette: deep cyan, magenta, electric yellow. Lighting behavior: sharp highlights on wet surfaces, strong rim light separating silhouette, deep shadow pockets. No flat lighting. Surface Detail (Hyper-Reflective): Wet pavement must feel physically real: mirror-like reflections with ripple distortion, micro scratches and pooling water, subtle rain impact patterns. Character materials slightly darkened from moisture. Atmosphere: Heavy rain and mist in the background. Volumetric light beams cutting through haze. Dense air perspective. Foreground may include subtle water droplets or mist near lens for depth. Emotion: Urgency. Instability. High-stakes motion. The character is either escaping or chasing. Negative Constraints: No centered composition. No upright balanced pose. No clean symmetrical stance. No dry surfaces. No flat reflections. No studio lighting. No evenly sharp full-frame clarity. No static posture. Background Pixel Wall Art (Depth-Controlled): Replace the LED sign with a weathered wall-mounted pixel-art mural or printed panel of the character. The pixel version must preserve silhouette and identity but appear faded, worn, and partially damaged. Printed or painted on a rough wall surface, not glowing like a screen. Subtle grime, scratches, peeling, or moisture distortion. Colors desaturated and affected by environment. Depth Control (CRITICAL): Must sit clearly in the background plane. Slightly obscured by haze, rain, or foreground motion. Edges softened, not crisp. Reduced contrast compared to main subject. Lighting Integration: Does NOT emit light. Only receives ambient neon spill. Partially falls into shadow. Pixel Art Identity Lock (CRITICAL): The pixel-art version must be a direct downscaled translation of the original character, not a reinterpretation. Preserve exact silhouette, head shape, and proportions. Preserve exact eye shape and spacing in simplified pixel form. Use the same facial structure logic — do NOT invent or add features. STRICT PROHIBITIONS: No added nose. No added mouth. No added facial features that do not exist in the original. No stylization drift toward generic pixel characters. If the original character has a minimal or abstract face, the pixel version must remain equally minimal. Foreground Chaos Layer (CRITICAL – DEPTH & IMMERSION): Introduce aggressive near-lens elements that partially obstruct the frame and enhance depth. Near-Lens Elements: Water droplets, splashes, or streaks crossing very close to the camera. Out-of-focus rain particles catching neon light. Small debris or mist fragments passing across the lens plane. These elements must feel physically between the viewer and the character, not part of the background. Depth Behavior (MANDATORY): Foreground elements are heavily out of focus due to proximity. Large soft bokeh shapes or streaks may partially cover edges of the frame. Some elements may briefly occlude parts of the character or reflection. The frame must feel layered: foreground chaos, main subject, background environment. Lens Interaction (IMPORTANT): Subtle water streaks or droplets may appear on the lens surface. Slight distortion or refraction through droplets is allowed. Effects must remain minimal and believable, never covering the focal subject completely. Lighting Interaction: Foreground particles catch neon light (cyan, magenta, yellow). Creates glowing streaks or soft colored flares. Adds dimensional separation between planes. Composition Impact: Frame edges may feel dirty or partially blocked. The image should NOT feel clean or perfectly framed. Slight visual interference is intentional. Emotion: The viewer feels inside the scene, not watching it. ar 16:9

Ultra-detailed {argument name="style" default="neo-editorial cinematic portrait illustration"} rendered in a hybrid semi-realistic painterly-engineering style, combining refined anatomical realism with expressive sketch abstraction and futuristic conceptual drafting. The artwork fuses elegant graphite fashion illustration, architectural blueprint aesthetics, and richly layered digital painting into a visually immersive mixed-media composition. Human anatomy is highly accurate and sculptural, featuring luminous skin gradients, tactile pores, subtle wrinkles, refined facial contours, and soft glossy highlights. Facial rendering is extremely expressive and emotionally cinematic, with sharp eyes, delicately shaded brows, natural lips, and dramatic warm rim lighting blending golden-orange glow with cool bluish atmospheric reflections. Smooth polished rendering transitions coexist with rough textured brushwork, etched shading, and visible painterly grain. Fine ultra-thin micro-line drafting overlays merge seamlessly with loose hand-drawn sketch strokes, cross-hatching, technical contour lines, and schematic construction marks. Portions of the composition intentionally retain unfinished artistic energy: faded edges, dissolving contours, partially erased strokes, and fragmented geometric segmentation inspired by cubist blueprint structures. Certain body and fabric areas transform into layered painterly abstraction with watercolor diffusion, acrylic textures, expressive oil-like sweeps, and deconstructed mixed-media detailing. Lighting is highly cinematic and directional, creating deep volumetric shadows and glowing highlights with dramatic editorial contrast. The composition balances softness and structure—warm sepia shadows, sculpted highlights, and atmospheric diffusion enhance emotional depth while maintaining precision-engineered visual control. Background features a fusion of textured parchment surfaces and futuristic technical collage aesthetics: faint diagrams, circles, architectural annotations, handwritten marks, layered scratches, drafting elements, grain textures, faded paper imperfections, and atmospheric painterly haze. The environment feels both vintage and futuristic, combining analog artistic charm with advanced conceptual design language. Color palette blends earthy sophistication with vibrant cinematic accents: {argument name="colors" default="warm beige, creamy ivory, ochre, burnt orange, golden yellow, sepia brown, muted charcoal, deep bluish-green, cobalt blue, and subtle black-red highlights"}. Tonal harmony emphasizes warm desaturated realism contrasted by luminous energetic accent colors. Overall aesthetic is intimate, melancholic, elegant, high-fashion, cinematic, and emotionally powerful—an artistic fusion of vintage sketchbook illustration, futuristic engineering draftsmanship, cubist fragmentation, expressive oil painting, and contemporary editorial digital realism. No text, no logo and no watermark. R 9:16.

Both shots share a {argument name="background" default="warm, natural indoor setting"} with soft lighting, a blurred bookshelf, and a textured brick wall in the background, maintaining perfect facial and stylistic consistency across both expressions.

A cinematic macro toy-photography scene of the uploaded reference character multiplied into dozens of miniature identical instances, each actively working on a giant open comic book that tells the story of the same character. Likeness Integrity (CRITICAL) All miniature instances must preserve the exact identity of the reference character: • identical proportions • exact eye shape, spacing, stylization • same silhouette and material behavior • no added features, no face changes, no stylization drift The comic book artwork must depict the exact same character design language, translated into printed comic style without altering anatomy or facial structure. Scene Concept & Action The giant comic book lies open like a construction site of narrative. Mini characters are scattered across the pages, each performing a specific task: • some are drawing panels with tiny tools (pens, brushes, stylus-like tools) • some are painting color into panels • some are climbing panel borders like scaffolding • some are inspecting scenes, pointing, directing • some are physically interacting with the comic world ( lifting panels, stepping into frames) The scene must feel like they are building their own story in real-time. Perspective & Composition (MANDATORY) Camera & Perspective (Corrected) Low-angle macro shot, camera positioned close to the comic page Lens: 90–100mm macro (compression, NOT distortion) • Perspective compression must preserve consistent object scale • Foreground character appears larger only due to proximity to lens • No exaggerated wide-angle distortion • Spatial depth created through distance falloff + focus, not scaling • The open comic book stretches diagonally into depth • Panels form strong leading lines across the frame • Composition is intentionally off-balance, not centered • Some characters partially cropped by frame edges Foreground includes blurred ink tools, paper edges, or panel borders creating depth layering Depth of Field (CRITICAL) Extremely shallow depth of field • Primary focal plane: one or two mini characters in the foreground actively working • Mid-ground characters slightly softer • Background characters and panels fall into creamy blur No full-frame sharpness Focus must guide the viewer toward the “main worker” character Lighting Doctrine Hard directional cinematic light from top-left • sharp shadows cast across comic panels • subtle rim light separating characters from page • ink reflections create small specular highlights • shadows from panel edges create natural depth No flat lighting Environment & Surface Detail Macro-level realism of the comic book: • visible paper fibers • ink texture and slight gloss • subtle imperfections in print • panel borders slightly raised or embossed Tiny tools leave micro mar
